Bat themed backpack good for school, not for super heroes

What If? Batman were a young goth school girl and needed a kewl bag to carry her books to and fro? Well, it probably wouldn’t make for a very good comic to begin with, but I would bet this bat-themed backpack would fill that niche for the bat fanatic.

Boom! Gets Hexed

Boom! Studios has announced a new mini-series that delves into a story about a thief with supernatural powers.  The series is written by Michael Alan Nelson with art by emma Rios.

HEXED follows nineteen-year-old Luci Neves, a.k.a. “Lucifer,” a Brazilian thief who specializes in the otherworldy and the enchanted. Ordinary crooks can rob banks. Lucifer’s the girl you call when you need someone to steal a demon’s collar, a feather from an angel’s wings, or the hinges off the gates of Hell itself.  Luci’s life has been plagued by macabre adventures and ethereal encounters, and now that an ill-satisfied client from her past has come back to haunt her…well, there may be no place in any dimension left for her to run!

“This is, honestly, everything I look for in a series and in a first issue,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Mark Waid in a prepared statement.  “Michael’s got his craft down better than just about anyone, and his ideas are terrific. Weird and chilling and compellingly disturbing, but terrific. Okay, actually, the boy clearly needs therapy. But HEXED is great.”
